Thank you, @CDCDirector, for overruling this tone-deaf ACIP vote, so it now aligns with FDA panel. Her action might also be motivated by the terrifying front-line experiences she had with this dreadful disease (though she did not say this). A lesson in good leadership

Pope Francis on Wednesday reiterated his belief that coronavirus vaccinations were critical. "Even in the College of Cardinals, there are some anti-vaxers," he said, "and one of them, poor man, is in hospital with the virus. But life is ironic." nyti.ms/3zdCAvQ
To boost or not to boost, that is the question the @US_FDA vaccine committee will be trying to answer this Friday. It won’t be easy. Give me a minute to talk you through the new data and what it really means:
In UK, any household can get a **7-pack** of rapid tests every day for free… An incredible example of what taking a true public health approach with regard to #COVID19 testing looks like.
Just saw a very young child who is losing weight. Had #COVID19 a few months ago and lost sense of taste/smell until now and doesn't want to eat because of it. Patient's mother is so stressed out. It's not only about the death rate.
Annissa Essaibi-George having her secret TikTok account get exposed is not the plot twist I was expecting
JUST IN: Unvaccinated people were 11 times more likely to die of covid-19 and Moderna is most effective in protecting against hospitalizations, per new @CDCgov reports. My latest w @JoelAchenbach washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09…
As per NIH town hall today - Pfizer vax for 5-11 year old should be approved before Halloween. And, Moderna before Thanksgiving. So glad to hear that.....Want it sooner though!
Friday just in: +948K doses reported administered over yesterday's total, including 399K newly vaccinated and 75K additional doses. Reporting starting to normalize. Every day we ⬆️pop immunity, leaving Delta with fewer opportunities to cause harm. Need to keep it up! 🇺🇸
The utilization of rapid tests in this pandemic have been undermined by two factors: 1) limited supplies; and, 2) cost. Making more tests available will help. But these tests should be free. And we need them now, not months from now.
